It’s mostly the P.Y.T.s (Pretty Young Things) of Hollywood who have been strutting their stuff in boots so who better to start with than the Teen Queen herself, Miss Miley Cyrus:

Miley Cyrus leaving her NYC hotel and at Justin Bieber’s concert for a special performance on August 31; Walking around Paris, France on September 4

Miley Cyrus is busy filming her latest movie “L.O.L” but she still made time to fly to New York just to catch Justin Bieber’s concert. Miley wore these gorgeous tall black boots for her special duet with the 16-year-old Canadian pop phenom, and continued to wear them even during her down time.

Miley then had to fly back to Paris, France to continue filming for her movie and was seen wearing a pair of black suede combat boots all over the City of Lights.

Miley Cyrus’ stage-performance-worthy over-the-knee leather boots are the Alexander Wang Sigrid Over The Knee Boots with Notched Heel. Her comfy combat boots that are made for walking are the H by Hudson Dot Combat Boots:

Alexander Wang Sigrid Over The Knee Boots with Notched Heel, $895.00; H by Hudson Dot Combat Boots, $425.00

Both of these boots seen on Miley Cyrus are available at Shopbop.com.

Next up is Leighton Meester who has been spotted in party after party in New York City:

Leighton Meester at Fashion’s Night Out: The Show held at the Lincoln Center (September 7); At the after-party for The Romantics at the Gansevoort Park Avenue (September 7)

Though Leighton Meester doesn’t always quite make it to the best dressed list, I really admire how this girl takes risks in fashion. She’s not afraid to don daring cuts, wear bold prints and show some skin, and THAT is exactly why fashion designers clamor to dress her.

Just check out that revealing blue cutout dress from Versus and those Proenza Schouler printed blue jeans!

Leighton Meester’s purple-trimmed ankle boots in the first picture are none other than the Christian Louboutin Venus Orlato Suede Ankle Boots. Her ankle boots in the second picture are the equally expensive Azzedine Alaia Lace-Up Suede Ankle Boots:

Christian Louboutin Venus Orlato Suede Ankle Boots, $1,395.00; Azzedine Alaia Lace-Up Suede Ankle Boots, ~ $1,495.00

You can shop for more Christian Louboutin shoes and Azzedine Alaia shoes (most are heavily discounted!) at Bluefly.com.

Last but not least, we’ve been seeing Ashley Tisdale sporting some cool pair of boots. One she wore for Fashion’s Night Out and the other she wore just for a cross-country flight, but both are very stylish:

Ashley Tisdale at Fashion’s Night Out: The Show (September 7); Arriving at the JFK airport in New York (September 6)

Ashley Tisdale’s always been a classic dresser but I wish she wore more color in the first picture especially since she was at Fashion’s Night Out! I can’t say anything about her casual style though – she’s got that department honed to a T.

Ashley Tisdale’s ruched black ankle boots are the Giuseppe Zanotti I07075 Ankle Boots. Her studded ankle boots are the Marc by Marc Jacobs Rivet Platform Booties:

Giuseppe Zanotti I07075 Ankle Boots, $795.00; Marc by Marc Jacobs Rivet Platform Booties, $395.00

The first boots can be purchased through Zappos; the second at Shopbop.

P.Y.T.s in Boots Double Mega Post – Miley Cyrus, Leighton Meester and Ashley Tisdale is a post from: Boots 4 You

The first time I took notice of Demi Lovato’s new style was a few days just before her birthday. These pictures are from her visit to the FOX & Friends studio on August 16th for an interview on the morning show:

Demi Lovato at Fox & Friends in New York City on August 16, 2010

At first I thought Demi Lovato was wearing spats in these pictures but she’s wearing actual pump boots with exposed vamps. Or platform pumps with attached hugs. Or high heel boots with cutouts. Actually, I’m not so sure what to call these boots but they’re the Steve Madden A-Jenay:

You can get these for $150.00 at Zappos.com.

Demi Lovato was photographed again just a few days later after her Fox & Friends visit and this time, she was wearing a pair of very chic zipper ankle boots with cutouts:

Demi Lovato seen leaving her hotel in NYC on August 22, 2010

Note how she paired her ankle boots with a studded cuff, more metal bracelets, various chain necklaces and huge hoop earrings to “rough up” her sexy oversized sweater and bandage skirt outfit.

Demi Lovato’s boots in this set of pictures are the CO-OP Barneys New York Zipper Ankle Boots:

If you wear a size 38, you can score a sweet deal and get these for just $259.00 (down from $660.00) at Barneys.com.

The third and most recent time I took notice of Demi Lovato was on September 1st on her promotional tour for “Camp Rock 2 The Final Jam” with the Jonas Brothers.

She’s just at an autograph signing session at a Walmart in Rochester Hills, Michigan here, but Demi still came dressed to impress:

Okay, so she’s wearing nearly the exact same outfit in the last set of pictures, but she changed things up with her choice of boots. I also prefer these cutout boots more because they’re more attention-grabbing than the CO-OP Barney New York ones.

Demi Lovato’s head-turning boots are the Velvet Angels Superare Mid-Calf Cutout Boots:

Purchase these boots for $189.72 at Endless.com.

Demi Lovato is still easing herself into her new edgy, rocker style but based on these recent outfits, she’s heading in the right direction.

What do you think of Demi Lovato’s new style?

Alexander Wang Hannah Velvet Loafer Boots

Alexander Wang Mirte Lace Sock Boots

I know Alexander Wang is revered for his mad shoe designing skills, but I can’t help but giggle at how these boots look! The first one is very cartoonish with its fat heel and overly rounded toe, while the second one could’ve been okay if it weren’t for the stuck-on leather sock.

The price tags on these are no laughing matter though: the chunky loafer clown boot is going for $745.00 while the steel toe sneaker boots with the dismembered-looking sock is even more expensive at $925.00.

Don’t get the wrong impression – not all Alexander Wang boots for fall 2010 are as silly. The brand capitalized on the success of their Freja Booties and they decided to go ahead and create a fantastic knee high version of their bestseller:

Alexander Wang Freja High Heel Boots

These would look so striking under a heavy coat. I can’t wait to see who will be the first celebrity to rock these boots for fall.

Here’s another Alexander Wang boot to take seriously – the Sigrid Over The Knee Boots with Notched Heels:

Alexander Wang Sigrid Over The Knee Boots with Notched Heels

It has such a deceptively simple design but wait ’til you see it from the back:

Alexander Wang Sigrid Over The Knee Boots with Notched Heels back view

I’m already swooning over the leg-lengthening zipper but that notched heel just completely blew me away. I wonder how stiff the heel are on these boots and if they would sag when you put your weight on them?

The Alexander Wang Freja High Heel Boots are $1,095 while the Alexander Wang Sigrid Over The Knee Boots are $895.00. Purchase these and more Alexander Wang shoes at Shopbop.com.

July 31, 2009 – Sienna Miller at a special screening of her movie G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

A year later, just four days ago actually, Sienna Miller was seen wearing her Isabel Marant Otway Studded Booties again:

August 17, 2010 – Sienna Miller seen out with Jude Law for dinner at the Wolseley cafe restaurant in London, England

It’s nice to see that Sienna Miller is getting more use out of those $1,300 booties, but my heart just breaks at the sight of the scuffed and worn down graduated cone heels on her Isabel Marants:

I guess it can’t be helped, especially if you love wearing a pair of boots this much.

It was expected that knockoffs would be made of these highly desired booties, and there were quite a lot especially when the Otway booties sold out everywhere. Still, I didn’t expect that knockoffs of these booties would still prevail and actually remain to be bestsellers up to now, after over a year and after a couple of new Isabel Marant collections have already come out.

Still lusting after the Isabel Marant Otway Studded Booties? Here are 3 cheaper options. They’re not exactly “budget” as these are still priced well over $100.00, but they’re much cheaper compared to the $1,300+ Isabel Marants:

Rosegold Black Suede Halle Studded Cuff Booties, $177.00 (was $295.00)

Jeffrey Campbell US Studded Booties, $129.95 (was $164.95)

Enzo Angiolini Liliac, $158.95

If you don’t want a too obvious copy, then try the Matiko Halle which is a wedge bootie version:

Christian Louboutin Toundra Booty Fur Boots

Appealing or appalling?

Before you give your final verdict on these boots, here’s something else to think about first: these furry footwear cost a staggering $2,095.00 at NeimanMarcus.com.

Probably not even worth the effort to form an opinion about huh, especially since so few people can actually afford to buy and wear these things out. But if you’re curious to know what it’s like to wear these new Christian Louboutin creations (and hey, I’m not judging), here’s something that’ll give you the look for less – the Jeffrey Campbell Shield fur spats:

Jeffrey Campbell Shield fur spats in Brown Fur and Ivory Fur (boots not included)

Wear them with clogs, booties or your own high-heeled platform boots! These things may look really out there but that’s the whole point of wearing them. To look even more “crazy fierce”, pair them with the Chanel Yeti suits from the Chanel Fall 2010 fashion show. Walk outside and get ready to start blowing people’s minds away – or freaking them out, as the case may be.

These fur spats are from the same family of spats that I featured in a fashion challenge a couple of weeks ago. Except of course these are furrier, warmer and less S&M-looking than the ones from that post.

Don’t think these are any less difficult to wear though. If your legs tend to get really cold, then you can get the Jeffrey Campbell Shield fur spats for $189.95 at SoleStruck.com.

So are they dating or not? More importantly, does it matter?

It probably does to a lot of people as these two are very high profile, but let me focus first on what matters to us most here on this blog: the cute pair of boots Ashley Greene was seen wearing on August 9:

Ashley Greene and her cute strappy brown boots the day she and Joe Jonas were seen together in Studio City, CA

Ashley Greene’s boots are the Deena & Ozzy Pin Stud Boots. The toes on her pair are a bit scuffed, but you kind of expect them to as these boots are only 20 dollars:

Close-up of Ashley Greene’s boots

Deena & Ozzy Pin Stud Boots

Correction: make that WERE 20 dollars. These non-leather boots are unfortunately now sold out everywhere and they probably sold out fast given their low price and the fact that Ashley Greene was seen wearing them.

Though the 20-dollar price tag is a little hard to beat, I did find a few boots that also have the straps-and-buckles style. Some of these aren’t that much more expensive ($30-40) while some ARE expensive ($80-$100), but at least they’re available and sizes are in stock:

1. Report Adriana, $105.95
2. Chinese Laundry New Castle, $48.30
3. MIA Toledo, $31.98
4. Steve Madden Texic, $64.98
5. MIA Outlaw, $83.40

Except for number 1, all of these shoes are on sale. Get them and find more boots like these at one of my absolute favorite online discount stores, 6pm.com.

Remember these to-die-for $1,605 Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain Multi Buckle Boots?

Well, these boots have knockoffs – as they’ve always had as soon as they came out – that are currently on sale at SoleStruck.com. They’re worth checking out and writing about here on Boots 4 You because they’re really good copies of the Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain boots.

Here are the boots I’m talking about, the Guess Daylee Buckled Cuffed Pull On Boots:

These were released just a bit after the Balmains came out. They were relatively inexpensive then – about $300.00 compared to the $1,605 Balmains – but they’re even cheaper now. SoleStruck had them listed at $274.95 and they are now priced at just $199.95. Those are huge savings right there!

There are still a few sizes left of the black suede ones. There’s also a grey suede version that’s also on sale and thankfully, those have more sizes in stock. It’s a good thing then that Heidi Klum and Hilary Duff have busted out their grey boots recently. I think grey boots would be a very hot trend for this coming fall.

Purchase the Guess Daylee Buckled Cuffed Pull On Boots at SoleStruck.com.

Guess Daylee Buckled Cuffed Pull On Boots is a post from: Boots 4 You

First, take a look at the Heidi Klum candid pictures that started this whole search:

July 30, 2010 – Heidi Klum and the kids catch a flight to France from the JFK airport in New York

Very beautiful boots on the very beautiful Heidi, but what really stood out for me were those semi-wedge, cone-shaped heels. Wouldn’t have seen them if it weren’t for the side view shots, so thank god for the paps and their shameless ways.

I knew I had laid eyes on a pair of shoes with those same cone heels before and my hunch led me to the cone-heeled Rosegold Black Suede Halle Studded Cuff Booties which I featured early this year in a 2010 fashion trends in boots post. I know perfectly well that those Rosegold booties are knockoffs of the Isabel Marant Otway Studded Ankle Boots, so given that this is Heidi Klum we’re talking about – a very successful celebrity who probably wouldn’t wear knockoffs because she can afford the real things – I narrowed down my search to the original and way more expensive brand, Isabel Marant.

I was in the right direction. Check out this picture of boots that’s among the top three results when you google “Isabel Marant gray boots”:

Isabel Marant Dana Fringed Canvas Boots

Same reverse cone heel, same slouchy style, same shape and silhouette, and the best clue of all, same grey color in the same canvas material.

I searched the rest of the shoes from the same collection (Isabel Marant Spring-Summer 2010) and I HAD it. Heidi Klum’s boots are the highly coveted, wait-listed, sold out everywhere Isabel Marant Dampa Boots:

Isabel Marant Dampa Boots – 4-strap multiple buckles cone heel grey canvas boots

Isabel Marant is a notoriously very exclusive brand and though that makes it very hard for us to get a hold of ‘em, that’s exactly what makes Isabel Marant so cool.

There are a few places online where you can find the Isabel Marant Dampa Boots. One of them is of course, eBay. Sizes are very limited but starting bid prices are comparatively low ($800-$900 listing compared to the original retail price of $1,400). The San Francisco store Metier also carries Isabel Marant items and if they keep their blog updated, it looks like they still have one pair of the Isabel Marant Dampa Boots left.

The handful of online boutiques that Isabel Marant has allowed to carry their items include Net-A-Porter.com and MyTheresa.com. Though they don’t have the boots, check back from time to time to see if they have new items from the latest Fall-Winter 2010-2011 collection.

10 Boots to Start Your Fall Wardrobe With from Bluefly.com’s Pre-Fall Sale is a post from: Boots 4 You

From Dictionary.com:

Spats – A short gaiter worn over the instep and usually fastened under the foot with a strap

The definition goes on to say that spats were worn especially in the late 19th and early 20th centuries particularly by army men who wore them as part of their parade dress and ceremonial uniforms. In more modern times, some characters in “The Flintstones” cartoon were drawn as wearing spats (but still with no shoes) to depict that they were rich and high society.

Now I don’t think these spats depict rich and high society more than it screams “I’m fashionable – look at ME!!!”. But still, somewhere deep inside me, I believe these things could actually look good if only worn with the right clothes and styled the right way.

So here’s another challenge for boot lovers out there, the Jeffrey Campbell Spats:

From left to right, that’s the Jeffrey Campbell Coin-2, the Jeffrey Campbell Coin Quilt and the Jeffrey Campbell Coin Slash.

The only one available as of writing is the middle one, the Jeffrey Campbell Coin Quilt, which retails for $99.95 at SoleStruck.com.

On a practical and economical point of view, $99.95 for something that can turn your shoes into a dramatic pair of boots is actually not a bad deal. But on the other hand, these spats don’t really go with just any pair of shoes and their tight fit don’t look like they would fit very well over say, a nice pair of ankle boots that would otherwise be great to wear in the winter.

Fashion-wise, I can’t deny that these things would look extremely fierce. I think I would actually try and wear these if I had a pair. But the shoes I’m imagining these spats with don’t look like they would fit; for one thing they’re 4 inches high and second, they’re thick platform wedges:

Jeffrey Campbell Genius, $169.95 at SoleStruck.com

Too bad. They have the same rock n’ roll look and the same brand and everything.

So the Jeffrey Campbell Spats - would you dare to wear or give them the boot?
